It's here — the Another World Number One Championship!
Your champion: Administrator Güligüri!
Challenging him: the Demon King!
A classic matchup — God versus the Demon King — but classic is exactly what makes it a legendary bout!
Will the victor be God? Or will the Demon King pull off the upset from below?
Stay tuned!
And now — before the opening bell, the Demon King charges in!
Dirty! But that's the Demon King for you — dirty is a compliment!
The champion takes this surprise attack full-on and goes flying!
A devastating right straight to the face!
The champion reels, staggering back!
How do you see that exchange, Analyst Spider B?
Well, the champion took that one on purpose, play-by-play Spider A.
What do you mean?
The champion was fully aware of the Demon King's surprise attack.
But he didn't dodge or defend — he deliberately took the hit.
I'd call that the confidence of a true champion.
I see!
By deliberately taking the challenger's first strike, he was showing the gap in their class!
But — the Demon King doesn't stop there!
The collar — the collar? I'm not sure that even counts as a collar, but anyway — she grabs it and slams him to the ground!
She mounts him right on top!
Full mount position!
"What is the meaning of this?!"
The Demon King demands an answer!
She's furious at the champion for putting up no resistance!
Fight! She's pleading with him to fight seriously!
"...I'm sorry."
But — !
Even so, the champion shows no will to fight!
What does this mean!? Has the champion lost his will to battle!?
The Demon King rains punches down on him!
*Phew.* I'm getting tired of this commentary bit.

Oni puts the Demon King in a headlock to stop her from continuing to pummel Kuro's face.
The Demon King struggles in his arms, still trying to keep hitting Kuro, but Oni forcibly pulls her away and there's nothing she can do about it.
The Demon King lost most of her power in the fight against
Right now, she's just a little girl as her appearance suggests — maybe even far weaker than she looks.
If Oni forcibly pulled her away, there's no way she could resist.
Good job, Oni.
The Demon King is basically an invalid who needs absolute rest right now.
Too much exertion isn't good for her health.
That said, if she doesn't get at least some of it out of her system, this whole thing won't settle — and honestly, Kuro deserves to take a few hits — so I held back from intervening.
The timing of Oni's intervention was just right.
That's Oni for you — always reading the room.
Huh? The vampire girl?
She's just sitting there in grub form, blinking with no idea what's going on, but... is there something?
"What is going on?"
"I'm sorry."
From here on, the Demon King continues to interrogate Kuro — who keeps saying nothing but "I'm sorry" — while Oni restrains her.
I leave them to it and continue reading the Potimas diary entries the Demon King had been looking at just a moment ago.
〈A body that Gülie Disto Diess had operating outside [the system] made contact. That's a rare occurrence. I was asked whether any anomalies had occurred, and the answer is undoubtedly the drastic reduction of MA energy and the dimensional earthquake that occurred around the same time. Of course, I had no intention of volunteering information. Instead, I tried to probe and extract information from him, but he himself didn't seem to know the specifics of what had happened. In the end, we parted without any useful exchange. This anomaly that even he hasn't grasped — I need to gather information.〉 〈The Hero has changed. The new Hero is
How do I even describe this?
Just reading it grinds away at your sanity — the content is absolutely vile.
This is exactly the kind of person who does terrible things without ever thinking they're wrong.
The previous Heroes, the former Demon King, and above all Sensei — you can see in every line of this brief text that he doesn't view them as individual people, but as tools.
Well, it was obvious, but man, Potimas really is the lowest kind of scum!
If I dug through past data, I'd probably find records of his interactions with the Hero before last and the former Demon King, but I don't need to look that deep.
Actually, I don't want to read any more of this anyway.
I've got the general picture.
Well, I already knew most of it.
"Hey, you know... I always just assumed Gülie was our comrade, our ally — but was that just me being naive?"
Oh, right.
I'd left the Demon King and Kuro alone, and their conversation had gotten pretty serious.
The Demon King looked like she was about to cry.
Making a little girl cry like that — Kuro, you're the worst!
...That's a joke, but I should probably step in soon.
"Coward."
Oops, I messed up.
I accidentally blurted out what I was really thinking at Kuro.
Oh well.
"If you don't explain properly, she won't understand. Stop saying sorry and explain everything from the beginning."
Kuro, who was lying on the ground, sits up halfway, eyes wide.
The Demon King turns to look as well, equally wide-eyed.
"...Eh? And you're the one saying that, Master?"
The vampire girl said something weird, so I kicked her.
